** Preparing the
Pieces and Sewing the Block **
I suggest for this one, since there are once again
many pieces, that you print off several copies of the templates. Darken the outlines for
each piece you will need...cut out...add the 1/4" seam allowances. Dotted
lines on the
templates show pieces that are underneath other pieces. I didn't list it as a needed
color, but you will also need an 8 1/2-9" square of white background
fabric! You'll also need some med. gray embroidery floss to embroider the bird's eye
:o)
Follow the directions below for order of placement

On an 8 1/2"-9" square of white background
fabric, lay out ALL the pieces, so that you can arrange them where you like them best.
Remove all but the back tall grasses and the top left holly leaf , pin them in place, and
appliqué them to the background, using thread to match the pieces being sewn on... |

Now pin on the nest, and appliqué
it in place, using
thread to match ... |

Then pin on the goose's body, and appliqué
it in
